This will probably be my last regularily posted blog for a while.  I'm traveling around and today I leave the one place on my list of stops that has dedicated internet, from here thru mid sept i'll be stuck using libraries, McDonalds, Starbucks and other such free wifi providers.  So i'll be posting when I can but I could go a few days between internet connections.

I have made a solemn vow to never buy any Obsidian game ever again. I made the mistake with KotoR 2, skipped NWN2 outright and then was foolish enough to take a gander at Alpha Protocol. I should've not done that, but it seemed interesting enough. If suffered from being developed by Obsidian big time though. And as for New Vegas... I'm a Fallout fan since the first game... I had to play this installment for as far as Obsidian would allow me. But the buck stops here. No matter what big IP Obsidian gets to develop next, I'm not buying their shit anymore. Obsidian should be getting a classs-act lawsuit handed to them. For willingly and knowingly destroying great franchises with amatoristic coding and bad customer relations. They should also be deemed a criminal organization with the aim of conning people for nominal sums of money by selling bad products. (That's illegal in many trades, why is it allowed in games?)

I dont' have much experience with Obsidian, in fact looking at their resume, i haven't yet played any of their games but mostly due to such shitty reviews and gamers complaining about how buggy their stuff is. That's what kept me away from Alpha Protocol, all the complaints and the xbox original looking visuals. Vegas i would wait for the GOTY on anyway but all the bug complaints would have kept me away. Althoug i played Fable 3 which came out about the same time and it was buggy too but i guess not to the extent Vegas was. Dungeon Siege 3 looked interesting but the half assed coop and the gears 3 beta will probably keep me away from it. As well as the build up of shitty releases under the Obsidian brand.

Don't get me started on Lionhead. Peter Molinoux has totally lost his connection with the community and is creating games now that fit his imaginary world that he has made up in his head. There was a time where his name would be uttered in one breath with Will Wright, Sid Meier and Jeff Minter. But he doesn't belong in that echelon anymore. I have great hopes that Will Wright rejoins Maxis when his contract with EA ends. He had to stay on when Maxis was released from their bonds with EA because of the monopoly-laws. When you see EA-footage where Will Wright appears in, he doesn't look all too happy. But all in all, Obsidian should do the honorable thing and fold. But like many dev-studios out there, they themselves think they can do no wrong. A weird form of arrogance that ails many devs.

My guess with the Kinect in Mass Effect 3 is that you will be able to make a Shepard with your likeness. I would assume that many games will start doing that as well. I want to make a fighter in Soul Caliber 5 with my face now that I think about it.

Microsoft is always screwed with this stuff because their prices can't / shouldn't compete with retail prices since they're the manufacturer. So you should always be able to get the best deals from retail.

same here, i have it. Was going to play it after Mass Effect 2 but then ended up buying Bioshock. Shit... i still have fallout 3 GOTY from a year ago i need to play. I don't think i'll be playing Bioshock through on hard, i just don't have time to play through games multiple times, too many to play .

oooh, now I understand why Square suddenly is walking around with Lara Croft T-shirts.., they have aquired Eidos. I thought Square had just bought the name and likelyness of Lara Croft, but they now own the entire Franchise... I wonder how long Crystal Dynamics will be a full-fledged studio before it becomes a memory on paper?

I also was stoked about that, but using the Kinect really limits the apps functionality. It does the same thing for ESPN. Its just much easier to grab the remote.
